I am going to live stream 2 one hour events a day to uScreen, one starting at 10 am and one at 6 pm. From what I can see, I have to copy and paste a new stream key from UScreen to OBS for each event. And to make it worse, I have to do that one at a time, before each event. I am new to OBS and streaming. Am I right, that is how it has to be done? Anyone have a better solution?

This seems like a real hassle for a $99 per month service. I would advise contacting uScreen support to see if they have a solution to this or use an alternate service. I use restream.io to stream to Facebook, Mixer, Smashcast, Twitch and YouTube for free with no stream keys at no cost. I occasionally have re-authenticate the accounts but that's it.
This may be the price you have to pay for all of uScreen's bells and whistles.

I want to use UScreen because I am going to be charging people a monthly subscription for Video on Demand and some Live Streaming. I checked with uScreen and the only way they work is with Stream Keys. I would be able to set up events ahead of time, which would get me the Stream Keys. So, then if I had encoder software that would allow me to input those Stream Keys into events in the encoder software, that would work. I can't see how to do that with Open Broadcaster Software. maybe with a different encoder?

If you do choose to duplicate a profile please be careful as I have had recent instances where swapping a profile still used the old stream key even when the new one was show in the key box. weird bug but it happens. I went live on my real channel for three hours prior to noticing recently instead of my test account. looked int the settings and it showed the test accounts key but still streamed to the wrong account.
